*Please Note: An External Fuse Must Be Fitted (Not

Brake Switch Only.
(Please check the polarity of your vehicles brake
switch before connection)
Wiring: Please ensure that a fuse is fitted in the Blue Wire (Brake).
The Brake Controller has four (4) coloured wires, black, red, blue and white. The black wire is the positive
voltage power supply line. The red brake wire powers up the electronic circuit of the unit and must be
connected to the cold side of the brake light switch. The blue brake wire must be connected directly to the
trailer brake wire. The white ground wire is connected to a grounded metal part of the dash, vehicle fire
wall or directly to the negative battery terminal.
Important: A brake control unit that is not properly grounded may operate intermittently or not at all.
?
Make sure all connections are secure.
?
Do not connect the Black "BATTERY" wire to the fuse panel or tie into any accessory wiring.
Connecting to the existing wire may damage the vehicles wiring and cause trailer brake failure.
?
Do not reverse Black "BATTERY" wire and White "GROUND" connections.
Even a momentary incorrect connection can damage the brake control unit.
Set-up & Operation:
Setting the braking force:
To set the brake intensity simply rotate the knob until the
required braking level is achieved. A clockwise knob
rotation will increase the braking and a counterclockwise
rotation will decrease it.
